The Internet Bookshop UK is one of Europe's leading sellers of used books through the Internet. They list over 250,000 titles on major sites such as Amazon, ABE and Alibris. The Company handles over 1000 orders per week on average, with over 15 staff working constantly to provide prompt service and customer satisfaction.

In 2003, Currer Web Consulting designed and implemented an integrated, web-based, system to handle all inventory, order processing, shipping and accounting within the Company. Working with IBUK, Currer Web have reliably supported, and continously improved and added features to the system to adapt to the changing market conditions of the online book selling industry.
